A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yup, I think all y'all in burgerland should recall that once in a while.

Isn’t the UK also notorious for assuming it is the center of the world?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

We were. Because we were. But those days are very much over.

I wouldn’t be so sure it’s just a “were” thing. You and I may have a more humble view of our homelands but I think we’ve both got to accept that there are some awfully myopic idiots residing in both of our states.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh hell yes. But you get people like that everywhere.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

I(German) can agree(sadly).

Hahaha.

Nah pommy fucks still act like the Empire exists all the time.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That would be the ones that shot us all in the face with brexit

At least I can take solace in the fact that Donny never won the popular vote. Still entirely too many fools voting for the obvious wannabe autocrat though

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

Don't really appreciate the pommy remark there skippy

But yea, that happens. I meant the Empires over, not that some people refuse to believe it.

Burgerland? C'mon man! If anything we're bacon double cheeseburgers land!

Just a burger would be like an Englishman eating chips without the vinegar!

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

True. I also love me a bacon double cheeseburger. Shame we don't have Wendy's here.

I'm not opposed to being called burgerland, but I'm wondering why burgers and not hot dogs or apple pie. I think we should start referring to all countries by their national food.

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Only Americans thinks that apple pie is a specifically American food.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Apple pie, hot dogs, and baseball.... There is no American food. Maybe fry bread?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

True, as burgers didn't actually originate in the USA anyway. Are there any foods that are 100% USA creations?

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure anyone has original food. Isn't it all just the same stuff in regional flavors with available ingredients? We should just go by what's popular, or perceived to be popular, which i guess does make us burgerland.

[–] Deway@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fried butter? (The fact that this is a real thing is worrisome)

[–] Deway@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I can feel my arteries clogging just by reading the name.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Make burgerland, it's been how many decades and you still think they "should recall that once in a while"?

Earn it.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Make Burgerland? OK

"Oh Burgerland, slow-ly widen my arse."

Cool AI image bud, you sure made Americans realize they aren't the center of the internet!
